Last Sunday, I headed to Washington D.C. at 5 a.m. to make images of the long-awaited Cherry Blossoms at the Tidal Basin. I chose to shoot at sunrise when the morning light would cast the pink and white flowers in hues of pinks, purples and gold. At 630 a.m., I had tripod set-up and was shooting the flowers and monuments cast in the gorgeous morning light. These are two of the images I made from that day.

Today, I am officially a travel writer and photographer as my article “Food & Fun” in Ireland came out today in the March 2015 VacationRentalTravels.com online magazine! Click here to access the magazine to check out my article (page 29). So exciting!
